My research, teaching, and service intersect variables that contribute to academic achievement of language minority students and ethnically diverse groups within and outside national and international boundaries.
My work has been published in a wide variety of academic venues such as the Educational Research Quarterly,Handbook of Research on Multicultural Education, Educational Researcher, Peabody Journal of Education, Bilingual Research Journal, Phi Delta Kappan, Educational Leadership, Kappan Delta Pi Record, World Yearbook 2003: Language Education (Kogan Page/Thompson),Anthropology and Education Quarterly, Race Ethnicity and Education, and the Harvard Educational Review. In addition, my studies have been widely disseminated through my co-authored books:
At this point in my career I am reaching out beyond our national boundaries to intersect with international contexts, especially in Latin America. Thus, during my sabbatical leave during the Fall of 2007 I am scheduled to conduct the following three studies.
(1) Undocumented Nicaraguan Students Living with Single Mothers in Costa Rica: Nine Years Later (longitudinal study of undocumented Nicaraguan students who lived with their mothers in Costa Rica in 1998; currently under IRB review);
(2) A Follow-Up Qualitative Study of the 2005 and 2006 CASS/ASU Program Cycles: Strengthening Early Education of Indigenous Children in Rural Mexico (the outcome in rural indigenous communities of a CASS/ASU program which in 2005 and 2006 prepared in the United States two carefully selected cohorts of indigenous leaders from rural southern Mexico; currently under IRB review);
(3) Escuela Primaria Henry Ford No. 150, Iguala, Guerrero, México: Perceptions of School Quality, Inclusion, and Hope in a Highly Marginalized Mexican Community (examine the impact that a Ford Foundation-funded elementary school has had on the life of a marginalized community in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico.)
In the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education at Arizona State University, I currently hold joint appointments in the Divisions of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. There, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses related to language policy, principles of second language acquisition, bilingual, ESL, and multicultural education, culture & schooling, reading and conferences. I also mentor doctoral and master students. I enjoy teaching and developing new courses. While at Indiana University I received two Teaching Excellence Recognition Awards from the School of Education. At Arizona State University I also have received recognition for my teaching effectiveness.
Prior to joining the faculty at Arizona State University in the Fall of 2001, I served as chair of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Indiana University and as the director of the Bilingual Education Program. Before joining the faculty at Indiana University I taught at Oregon State University, the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and the University of Southern California. I have also been a visiting scholar at the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (Instituto de Estudios Latinoamericanos), La Universidad del Valle in Guatemala, TEC de Monterrey in Mexico, the University of Washington, Seattle; and Oregon State University, At Arizona State University I have served as an Associate Dean for Teacher Education as well as the Director for the Division of Curriculum and Instruction. I started my career as a high school Spanish teacher in Northern Indiana.
Through my career I have been deeply involved in service at the Division, College, University, state, regional, national, and international levels. I have given presentations in Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Egypt, England, Guam, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Spain, and, of course, the United States. I have had the good fortune of having served variety of ethnolinguistic communities such as Chicanos, Mexican Nationals, Eskimo-Aleuts, Athabascan-Koyukon Indians, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Southwestern Indians, Chamorros, Costa Ricans, and Nicaraguans. I have served as a Discipline Peer Review Committee member for the Fulbright Specialists Program as well as on the selection committee for the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program. I have been a member of the Editorial Boards of the American Educational Research Journal (AERJ), the International Multicultural Research Journal, and the Journal of Latinos and Education. I gave the R. Freeman Butts Lecture at the 2006 American Educational Studies Association Conference. And in 2007 I was nominated for the Distinguished Latino Alumni Award at Indiana University.
